Judgement and Wrath by Matt Hilton Reviewed By happyruby

Judgement & Wrath is the second book in Matt Hilton’s series featuring Joe Hunter and his friend Jason Rington. Rington a/k/a Rink has his headquarters in Florida. Rink has a private investigation service and Joe is currently his partner in that business.

Joe meets with Richard Dean and accepts a retainer for what Joe and Rink figure will be an easy job. Richard wants his daughter Marianne brought home. Marianne is living with Bradley Jorgensen, a Miami playboy. Joe is shown a picture of Marianne taken by the Miami P.D. showing a bruised young girl. This picture makes Joe even more determined to rescue Marianne.

Joe soon discovers that the danger Marianne is facing is not from Jorgensen but from a vicious contract killer that intends to kill Jorgensen and everyone connected to him. The killer has never reckoned with a force like Joe before and once the chase begins, the excitement doesn’t let up.


“The thunders of judgement and wrath are numbered” are words that Jean-Paul St. Pierre a/k/a Dantalion quotes as he prepares to send another person to their death and add another number to his book. Dantalion includes Joe Hunter in his threat but Joe is determined to stop the killer.

Dantalion finds that he has met his match with Joe Hunter. Dantalion is a twisted individual who carries a book to track the number of people he has killed. He is adept at changing his appearance but it takes more than a change in appearance to defeat Joe Hunter.

Judgement & Wrath was just published in the United Kingdom and will be published in hardcover later in the United States. Hilton writes action packed thrillers that leave the reader anxiously waiting for the next book.

About happyruby

HappyRuby is a combination of the names of two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels that I owned - Happy Talk and Karri's Ruby, both deceased now but I do have a dog and cat. I live in the Midwest so enjoy a change of seasons. I am an office manager for two plants that process pet food ingredients. I worked a number of years as an office manager for a law office. I only work part-time now which gives me more time to read. My daughter lives in W. VA and is a huge fan of mystery - the darker the better. My other daughter is into reading romance and my granddaughter loves fantasy. I very much enjoy reading mystery, hard-boiled or cozy.

Judgement & Wrath - 5 Paws
Matt Hilton
Hodder & Stoughton Ltd; 2009; 310 pages
ISBN No. 978-0-340-97824-S

Joe Hunter returns in Matt Hilton's Judgement &Wrath. He has now moved to Florida where he has partnered up with his buddy, Jared "Rink" Rington in his private investigation business. Some would call Joe a vigilante although he just thinks of his work as helping those in need.
Joe meets with Richard Dean who wants to hire Joe to rescue his young daughter, Marianne, from her mega rich boyfriend, Bradley Jorgenson. He tells Joe that Bradley is physically abusing Marianne and produces a police report as proof. In the police report Marianne refused to name her attacker. Dean wants Marianne returned to him and any threat from Jorgensen eliminated.
Joe agrees to take the job but it quickly becomes much more of a job than originally anticipated. He moves in next door to the home that Marianne and Bradley are currently residing in to set up surveillance. Joe manages to introduce himself to Marianne when she steps into the yard and tell her he is there to help. However he doesn't get the chance to explain why he is there or what he is going to help her with before Bradley calls her back in the house.
Events move quite quickly after their introduction. In Joe's surveillance he spots Dantalion, a hired killer heading into the Jorgenson home. Joe rushes in to help. Suddenly the job is not just getting Marianne away from Bradley but just trying to keep them both alive with the obsessive killer Dantalion in hot pursuit.
Judgement & Wrath is an excellent follow up to Dead Man's Dust. The action is non-stop and you won't want to put the book down until you finish it as quickly as you can. I look forward to further adventures of Joe Hunter and Rink.
NOTE: Amazon has this book spelled incorrectly.
